Hearing this, Wang Feng couldn't help but complain: "He really isn't bragging. 'Red Bean' is indeed in the lower middle tier of the entire album."
Xu Xiangxiao said: "'Red Bean' is also really great, it's just that the other songs are too strong."
He Ling laughed and said, "Don't blame Xin Hai. If someone like Chi Chi, dressed in a suit and sneakers, kept saying he wanted to help you change the Chinese music scene, you would definitely think he was just bragging."
Jiang Xinhai flipped his hair and said, "Yeah, think about it, especially if someone takes a song like "Red Bean" and tells you that it's only considered mid-range among the few song titles he just wrote down, what would you think?"
Everyone laughed secretly.
Crazy, too crazy.
If anyone else says that "Red Bean" is of poor quality, they will be criticized to death.
Only Chi Chi can do it.
He really has the capital to be so crazy.
If we stand at this point in time and criticize Xinhai for not recognizing the great man he was, it would be hindsight.
If we didn't know the later fate of Chi Chi's album, no one would believe that "Red Bean", which is still widely sung today, would not be ranked in the top five in the entire album.
Not even in the top eight.
Qin Yunchu laughed and said, "I've never seen such a music producer, but I have seen many investment scammers who make a PPT and then start clamoring about entering the international market, always with one or two small goals. If I were Xin Hai, I wouldn't pay any attention to Chi Chi."
He Ling smiled: "Xin Hai must have a good temper, otherwise how many more years would Chi Chi have wasted in the music industry?"
When Jiang Xinhai was telling the story, he kept praising Chi Chi in his words and deeds.
Therefore, it is inevitable that one's image appears to be too proud.
He Ling and the others were all people with high emotional intelligence, so they all tried to help Jiang Xinhai make amends, fearing that the brainless netizens would switch their attack from attacking Chi Chi to attacking Xinhai.
Fortunately, their guidance was successful, and the live broadcast room was filled with comments, mostly laughter:
"I really don't blame Xin Hai. I wouldn't believe it either if it were me."
"It's really scary to think about it. If Xin Hai hadn't been kind and hadn't dismissed Chi Chi as a liar, wouldn't the Chinese music scene have lost a queen?"
"I'm a little curious, how did someone like Chi Chi end up penniless and having to borrow money to eat?"
"Yes, didn't he already write "Heart Too Soft," "Love Water," and "Sad Pacific" at that time?"
Xiao Chuchu's reporter team also saw these comments and let him see them through the note. Xiao Chuchu quickly asked:
"Ms. Jiang Xinhai, I saw someone online ask, 'While Chi Chi wasn't exactly famous at the time, he was certainly somewhat well-known.' So why didn't he even have money for lunch?"
He considered his words carefully before saying, "Is it because your description is exaggerated, or is it because... he likes to eat for free?"
The press conference was immediately filled with laughter.
The host couldn't help but laugh as well, forgetting to control the situation.
Jiang Xinhai smiled and said, "No wonder you're so confused. I was confused too. If he hadn't been so unkempt at the time, I wouldn't have had such a hard time trusting him. After all, he's already the author of three best-selling songs."
After a pause, she continued, "I didn't ask at first, because everyone knows that I'm not the kind of person who pays much attention to my image. Maybe it's because I've been told I'm beautiful since I was a child, so I'm very confident. Chi Chi is also very handsome, so I subconsciously thought he and I were the same kind..."
"Later I discovered that the deeper reason was actually that Chi Chi had offended someone and was in a very dire situation, almost disappearing from the music scene. He really didn't have a penny at the time."
At this point, Wang Feng, who was sitting next to him, suddenly coughed lightly.
Jiang Xinhai looked at him, and Wang Feng said, "Xinhai, you're not talking about that incident, are you?"
Jiang Xinhai blinked, and both of them got the answer from each other's eyes at the same time.
Wang Feng suddenly became panicked.
"Xinhai, stop, stop talking... This matter has passed, and the person involved has already retired from the entertainment industry. Let the past be the past."
Jiang Xinhai nodded and said, "I'm not going to mention this either. It's not the main point. All you need to know is that Chi Chi was penniless at the time and had a two million yuan loan. So he relied on me for everything, including food, clothing, and shelter."
When everyone heard this, they were a little shocked.
Two million in that era was not as much as two million today, but the purchasing power was still very high.
Wang Feng asked quietly, "Xinhai, let me ask, what is the relationship between Chi Chi and...that person?"
Jiang Xinhai said, "That person once said that Chi Chi was his benefactor, guide, inspiration, and arranger. That's why he wrote Chi Chi's name on the special thanks of the album."
Wang Feng took a deep breath and said, "So, that person back then... was able to..."
"Yes." Jiang Xinhai nodded, then took a sip of water. "Not many people know the inside story, except me."
Wang Feng nodded and stopped talking.
Everyone was confused by what the two said.
What are you talking about?
Xu Xiangxiao asked, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by quitting the entertainment industry?"
Wang Feng closed his mouth and entered into a state of meditation like an old monk.
He made up his mind never to say anything more about the matter.
Xu Xiangxiao looked at Jiang Xinhai again in confusion, wanting to know something from her.
Jiang Xinhai also changed the subject and said, "Xiang Xiao entered the industry a little later than me, so she probably doesn't know about that sudden and powerful top star who stirred up the world back then. But it doesn't matter if she doesn't know. Let me continue talking about Chi Chi."
